The University of Buckingham Library hosted a ‘Love Your Research’ event on 14 February. Students from various departments presented a thesis within three minutes to an audience of their colleagues and other academics.

The topics ranged from technology, football, literature, business and law.

University Librarian Malcolm Meaden- Pratt said: “It’s more friendly and lowkey, but the idea is to encourage people to talk about the things they’re doing and the things they like.”
